Description
American Scientific Publishers Molecular Nanoelectronics by Reed M.A.
The field involves using single molecules to act as self-contained electronic devices, and research in this area is evolving rapidly. Thirteen contributions discuss the theory and computational aspects of transport in molecular structures, molecular systems as alternatives to oligomer-based systems, and applications of molecular electronic systems. A sampling of specific topics: unimolecular electrical rectifiers, gated molecular devices using self-assembled monolayers, carbon nanotubes, nanowire nanoelectronics assembled from the bottom up, and organic and polymeric light emitting devices. Of interest to students or cutting edge researchers in the fields of nanotechnolgy, solid-state physics materials science, electrical and electronic engineering, chemistry, computational engineering, device applications, and information technology. Editors Reed and Lee are affiliated with the department of electrical engineering at Yale University; contributors are based in the US (one exception, from Canada).
